#GreenwoodIN – Mashcraft Brewery in Greenwood opened after many months of anticipation in my house. My husband not only loves real hand crafted beer, but he also brews his own. To say he is a connoisseur would be an understatement. He is all IPA all the time. Suffice it to say he was looking forward to another brewery, […]

#GreenwoodIN – Take a trip on southbound State Road 135 in Johnson County and you may see a few road side produce stands dotting the landscape. Chances are they are owned by Randy and Linda Stout of Stouts Melody Acres Farm based in Franklin, Indiana. Then take a look at many local menu’s or food websites- you […]

#GreenwoodIN – When I first moved to the south side to Greenwood, there was a popular restaurant at the end of my street, Casa Miguel’s had great mexican food and was a good meet up spot for my friends and me. Out with the old and in with the new — Between the Bun Burgers, […]

#GreenwoodIN – The south side of Indianapolis seems to have a large offering of second hand children’s clothing stores but the newest children’s clothing store, Pout in Pink (3100 Meridian Park Drive, Suite N, Greenwood), brings something new to what is available for parents of south side tots. Pout in Pink is a boutique clothing […]

If you’re looking for organic foods, gluten free choices, and health living ideas, Earth Fare and Fresh Thyme are your new go-to stops. Both are located off US 31, near the Greenwood Park Mall.

I’ve eaten Indian, Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese and Vietnamese-French infusion, but until walking through the doors of Kimu Restaurant, I had never before tried Burmese food. The cuisines of Asian nations have such a wide variety of styles and ingredients that there’s no predicting for a first-timer, going in blind, what a new restaurant will resemble. Would […]

As someone who has been shopping resale for years, one of my biggest pet peeves is an unorganized clothing store. Searching for that perfect dress in a mass of clothing, without any idea what sizes you’ll find or where they’ll be, only makes the pressure of shopping all the worse. At Selective Seconds in Greenwood, […]

The idea, loosely fashioned from the National Public Radio’s Prairie Home Companion, […]

Until we had children, I was a serial breakfast skipper. I enjoyed Belgium waffles on occasion…but never really before noon. Oh, and then there’s bacon, who doesn’t love bacon? These days I’m skipping breakfast less and enjoying it more — maybe it’s the fact that the kids pull me out of my beauty sleep much earlier […]

One of these is Vino Villa, a wine bar that serves dozens of glasses and bottles while also cooking up magnificent pizzas, sandwiches and desserts. The […]

There are three perfect beverages in this world. Iced Thai tea is one of them. The tea — made from Ceylon tea leaves, condensed and evaporated milk, and sugar – is orange, and, when made correctly, tastes somewhere between milkshake, black tea, and heaven. After moving to Indianapolis I made it my quest to find […]

I have a confession to make: I’m a vegetarian. Not a real one, because I eat fish, but I haven’t eaten any cow, pig or bird in more than four years. Because of my picky eating habits, I’m always looking for restaurants that accommodate both my herbivorous and my friends’ and family’s carnivorous ways. I […]
